I LOVE . . .

.... watching my oldest daughter turn into a beautiful young girl.





... seeing her smile at me.





... catching these quiet moments in our busy lives.





... and then these moments that warm my heart.






... and this man.

FFD Wives for Christ

Don't know where it's going.... not sure how we're going to get there...

But I guess I just felt the need for us fire wives who have so much in common to be more connected. We are wives to firefighters, moms to kids, and sisters in Christ. And it has been on my heart to start something.... something to where we can all connect, grow, support and serve together. Whether that's through a bible study, helping each other out with babysitting, delivering meals to families in need, play dates, prayer requests, etc etc etc. And I don't want something that becomes a monthly meeting where we all just smile, take part in surface conversation, eat some brownies and go home. I think it can be more than that. I think it can be real. Genuine. Sincere. I think we can build friendships and fellowship that not only benefits ourselves but others too, and ultimately glorifies God.

Like I said, not sure how we're going to get there... so I'm just following His lead. And hoping others do as well.

Description Of The Heart

Nothing else can describe my heart better than the song "God With Us" by Mercy Me.

This song means so much to me. And so deeply touches my soul with love for Jesus Christ, the son of God, the Lord Almighty, the Holy One.

Who are we that You would be mindful of us?
What do You see, that's worth looking our way?
We are free, in ways that we never should be.
Sweet release from the grips of these chains.

Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing...

All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified
Emmanuel, God with us.

My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid, these chains are gone
Emmanuel, God with us

Lord You know
Our hearts don't deserve Your glory
But still You show a love we cannot afford

Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing...

All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified
Emmanuel, God with us.

My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid, these chains are gone
Emmanuel, God with us

Such a tiny offering
Compared to Calvary
But nevertheless, we lay it at Your feet

Such a tiny offering
Compared to Calvary
But nevertheless, we lay this at Your feet

All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified
Emmanuel, God with us.

My heart sings a brand new song
MY debt is paid, these chains are gone
Emmanuel, God with us
